How the hell is Hansen getting all the scoops now?

Yeah kinda upsetting that it wasn't kept secret. Would've been nice for no one to know until like 3 minutes into the game tomorrow and then Trier casually stands up off the bench, takes off his sweats and goes to the scorers bench and checks in

A "Willis Reed" type entrance would have been pretty bad ass, but just the fact that he's playing is so exciting at this point.

But based off the previous info regarding testing, it seems unlikely they would have received a result today. My impression was the testing for road trips was timed so results would allow him to play both games. Could this be a result of the publicity this week?

The MLK holiday ruined any chance of him being cleared by the USC game. He took a test Tuesday, takes 3 days to get results, and here we are.

This is probably about UA/Miller wanting to promote local legitimate stuff as opposed to hindu gamblers who lie through their coke covered teeth.

Thanks Choo! Totally forgot about MLK, wasn't a day off for me.

This is going one hell of a game. Can't wait. I think AZ might be out to prove something. Mental edge cats!

Lol...of course he is

Arizona's Trier will play vs. UCLA after 19-game absence

What is this supposed to mean? He would've been back for USC but the drug testing lab was closed on MLK day which delayed the all clear results a day. From what we know he should've have been suspended in the first place.

Choo is now our go to guy

I would feel the same way

This is good for the Cats but it is truly great for Zo.

About fucking time. So happy for Zo

Sheer is a moron....what makes him think that UA IMMEDIATELY sent out info to the Star any other person?

I can promise you the first person Miller told was Trier himself, thats WHY they are in film session...what an idiot.

Besides the official statement said they found out Friday AFTERNOON...sheesh learn to read sports guy.

MrBug708 wrote:Lol...of course he is

Yea, not really a surprise is it that it would be this game? Good for us and most importantly Zo

Choo is a stud. Big ups.

Strap in, lets go.

So happy for Zo.

It's just the way it is. Some people take themselves too seriously thought and freak out...haha.

Does this exonerate RC97?

You asked and Putin delivered.

Line just dropped from 6.5 to 6

Well as we now know, Putin is very good with the performance enhancing substance cover ups.

lol I'm tapping out after this one. Barring Arizona running into a similar issue in the future (dear god please no) don't count on me for inside info in the future. I'm just merely a talking head/tea leave reader.

Fuck off bug.

Finally some good news on this shit day

I can guess-timate that one thing Trier will bring will be a sense of urgency to play defense, pretty sure Miller has made it clear that a lack of passion will sit your ass on the bench and the way the program works Trier is not promised a starting position so he's gonna come out like he has been working out with PED's with something to show...

The fastest track to the pine bench is to get beat by your opponent on D...so maybe his energy brings everyone else up a notch in spite of him being a well oiled rusty machine.

Finally. Even if we don't win, we've won.

hahahahahahahhahahahhah, yes and yes.

the news probably has zero impact on big alf's gameplanning as it stands, though.

You said Alford's game planning...haha

hah, exactly.

you going to westwood tomorrow?

Wish I could but between the job and having an 19 month old, it's just not in the cards. I'm not sure I'm even going to be able to watch all of it.

This is fucking amazing. Can't wait for tip-off at UCLA and the rest of the season.

Great news indeed. So happy for Zo and the team.

Arizona guard Allonzo Trier has been cleared by the NCAA and will be available on Saturday for the Wildcats against No. 3 UCLA, the school announced Friday.

"The NCAA notified us on Friday afternoon that Allonzo Trier's most recent drug test was negative," Arizona said in a statement. "Therefore, he is eligible to return to the court immediately and will be available for our game against UCLA."

In the sense that it would have been nice to have had a little bit of a rehearsal before such a significant test, for coach Sean Miller to work out how best to fit Trier into a 17-2 squad that has managed to win 11 consecutive games, it is a tad inconvenient.

“It will be a challenge – tough first game to welcome him back,” Miller told Sporting News. “He has been practicing the entire time, so in a few weeks he should be fine.”

The most shocking part of all this is learning that it was Mr. Bug all dressed up in that nurse's gig, administering drugs to Trier. And now he's only mad at himself for not drugging him up more? Go suck wind, Mr. Bug!

You guys have got to chill. My goodness...

Haha, no.

Maybe sd86, but I was just explaining what happened to bug after his passive aggressive post.

I obviously hope we win today, but I'm so happy for the rest of the season now that he's back. A loss today means nothing, Trier available for the rest of the season and post-season means everything!!!! Bear Down!!!!

Maybe you misread his post.

Welcome back Zo! We've missed you.

Not expecting too much today but boy do I like our chances a lot more in March.

Well, Westwood is near Hollywood, so that ending makes sense. Hey. Bug, are you BruinsLife on Twitter? Saw that line there, too.

My attitude. Gonna take time to integrate and coordinate. See: Miles Simon in 1997. Plus, he hasn't faced these new rules on D. Quicker whistles. Homestand against the Washingtons up next. Should be some room for error/adjustment in those games.

Love this.

Was Simon allowed to travel and practice with the team in 97?

I think practice yet, travel no. But maybe someone remembers better than me.

Longhorned wrote:Was Simon allowed to travel and practice with the team in 97?

Don't think so. Think he went to the opener on his dad's dime. But a distant memory. Don't know about practice, but that's a good point,
